This is our summer programming for this year. At first I thought it would be only for our core group, but I was proven wrong! Our event is called Reality Check, and each week we begin in a large group setting where 4 specific, real-life issues are discussed broadly. The youth can then choose which topic to attend based...

Rent and set up two sets of professional black lights. Tape up floor hockey sticks, nets, pucks, and lines with fluorescent tape. Get co-ed teams of 5, turn out the lights, crank up the tunes, and let the glow in the dark craziness begin! Door prizes, a short God talk, pizza and a big cheesy trophy complete the event.The...

Yep, we got this idea off a Tide commercial on TV. We now have an annual mud bowl. In August we plow a 100ft by 200ft area, soak it for two days and plow it again. We then play football and freeze tag (the one where to get unfrozen you have to dive through the frozen person's legs). The...
